Meet The Band

Stang Gappa

Lead Vocals / Guitar

info:

You might expect most 24 year olds to be spending their free time chasing women or closing down bars, but Stang Gappa is on a mission. He is fervently pushing the boundaries of a full-scale, traditional country-music revival, yet with enough contemporary distinctiveness to appeal to a broad range of listeners, both young and old alike.

“Pistol” Pete Weber

Mandolin

info:

Pete was born listening to his Dad’s favorite artists at high volumes; jam band icons like The Grateful Dead and the classic rock of Neil Young. First choosing to play bass guitar to cover the Rage Against the Machine favorites in the 7th grade, Pete quickly traded in his bass for a mandolin in high school after hearing the legends before him, like Sam Bush, David Grisman, and Jeff Austin for the first time.

Mike Brick

Electric Guitar

info:

Over the years Mike has had the pleasure of performing at all the best venues in the Colorado area including: The Fox Theater, The Bluebird Theater, The Gothic Theater etc. Originally from upstate NY, Mike’s musical journeys have landed him in numerous locations including stints on the West Coast, Arizona, Colorado, NYC and the East Coast where he has toured with numerous bands and performed regularly in all types of venues and clubs.

Sam Mahnke

Bass Guitar

Sam is no newcomer to life as a musician; his father was the drummer for Potlatch, and has been associated with acts including Van Morrison and Eric Clapton. With a intricate understanding of rhythmn fundamentals at a young age, Sam has been playing bass for over 25 years and continues to push the boundaries of the instrument with his unique style.

Tom Gray

Drums

info:

Tom is the band’s most versatile asset. A talented multi-insturmentalist, Tom’s primary weapon of choice is the saxophone. After noticing the band’s dire need for a professional drummer after their first show, Tom jumped at the opportunity to hone his abilities leading a rhythmn section.
